This is an arduino controlled project and uses leds, jumper wires, and a breadboard. This is one of my first attempts on programming arduino and I am pleased with the outcome. I'm ten years old and I just started programming 2 weeks ago.

This is simple wiring, and all you do is connect each negative terminal to itself and then to the arduino and each positive terminal to a positive pin on the arduino. Remember to connect them in order, ie. the first LED to pin #1 on the arduino and the second LED to pin #2.

I learned all of the programming by the book called "Getting Started with Arduino" by Massimo Banzi, then got a few more books about Arduino from O'reilly later. Also, grab an ArduSensor Fun Pack at my website www.qtechknow.com, which is also my new Instructable. They are great to get started with Arduino.

"I'm 55 and for 6 months I've been trying to program an arduino to make one single LED blink and you only 10 years old have done it in just two weeks? Really it is admirable!My most sincere congratulations!Please, don't ever quit working on what you like and if someone or something gets in the way, simply ignore it and keep going! It is evident that you have much potential. I will be watching for your next instructable...(please translate this because my english is terrible...)"
